Imagine receiving a notification on your smartphone that reads “your child has arrived at school”. Knowing where your child is located at anytime with a click of a button, that is priceless. This is what hereO offers.
The hereO watch comes fully loaded with functions that keep parents and their children connected, allowing parents to keep track of their little ones’ whereabouts at all times. But there’s more than meets the eyes:
The hereO Family App not only syncs with the hereO watch, but also with all other family members who are using the free hereO app, enabling you to know the whereabouts of your entire family. hereO offers the first complete end-to-end family location sharing service.
The app allows users to view their family’s whereabouts, broadcast messages and make calls, receive directions to family member’s current location and view each family member’s historical locations. It also allows for parents to create virtual fences around specific areas such as home, school or work, and it will notify them when a specific family member arrives or leaves that place.
We are currently conducting beta testing on the iPhone app, with android and other devices in developed. The iPhone app will be available on iTunes in April 14′, with android and HTML5 ready in June 14′.
While there are a number of child tracking products and services available to consumers, the key differentiators offered by HereO include:
- The HereO GPS watch was designed with children in mind, allowing it to fit properly and comfortably on tiny wrist and is more than 1/2 the size smaller than any other wearable tracking products in the market.
- HereO is the first and only complete end-to-end family location sharing service, which include a dedicated device for young children and application for the entire family.
- Less than half the price of our competitors.
The hereO GPS-watch’s dimension is 32X30X14mm. hereO is engineered to fit a child’s wrist and comes in a variety of trendy children’s designs and colors.
The watch is comfortable for any kid to wear everyday and is water resistant; it is very durable to keep the watch on even in the heaviest of play. It features a panic button that can be easily sent in any situation. Battery life last up to 24-72 hours between each charge (depending on the usage). Parent receives a notification when the battery is low.

From day one we involved kids in the design process, to make sure it was a watch they would really want to wear. We created a range of designs with the aim of developing a standard kids watch.
Today, hereO is small, comfortable to wear and trendy. The watch was designed not to be intrusive to the kid’s daily activities.
We have partnered with key manufacturers and suppliers from the rapid prototyping phase to the final production. We work with a leading contract manufacturer to build the device.
We have already manufactured 50 working devices directly from the assembly line.
We have nearly reached all our milestones and are ready to bring this product to market.
Children’s tiny little wrists, while adorable, post a huge technological challenge for any developers to come up with a wearable tracking device that is small and comfortable to wear. The hereO engineers overcame this challenge by miniaturizing more than 10 components in order to make GPS watch that are 100% tailor-made for kids.
The hereO watch assembly process was made simple, enabling us to offer a wide range of watch designs.
While the watch looks like an everyday child watch, when synched with the HereO Family app, the HereO GPS watch acts as tracker, allowing parents to keep in constant communication with their children.
The hereO ecosystem consists of 3 main components: GPS tracking watch, back-end server, mobile app and web portal. The image below provides a high-level overview of how the hereO end-to-end system functions.
The watch is bundled with a cellular connection provided by Wyless, which works in over 120 countries. This is similar to a standard cellular connection provided by companies like AT&T or Vodafone, except there is no external subscription needed.
hereO was started by three founders (Daniel, Gill and Allon) and now a team of 10 with a common mission: to make a product that will keep our children safe within arm’s reach. After three years of research & development, we are happy to announce that we have completed our first assembly run.
A group of extraordinary people came together to make this idea a reality. From experts in medical miniaturization who redefined the workings of antenna, battery, screen and a few other secrets to manufacturers who took control of the entire assembly process and prepared us for this moment – to raise funds and to start mass production.
The hereO team includes experts with different backgrounds, each with their own core competency – from entrepreneurship to hospitality to technology and LBS. Additional specialists joined hereO with a range of expertise ranging from hardware engineer, industrial design, branding, marketing, app-design, app-programming, software programming and more.
